Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Jesus warned about These exact Fucking FAIRisees…
Wow, that end song is pure gold!!
Nice work ratting out the SCMC!!!
I didn’t realize Jesus payed “brown-shirt” spies to condemn and threaten those catching Him in “His Lies, Bullying and Abuse?” Oh, but of course, that was the FAIRisees.
Right, the SCMC is as Orwellian as it gets (like Jesus taught!). Fruits of FAIRisees. The church could choose to be forthright and just fine if they looked at themselves first (like Jesus said of these beamed mote-pickers), their FAIRisaical bullying, abuse, lying and dishonesty in their dealings, and refusing to sustain Jesus.
Change that? Converting the FAIRisees to Christ’s way is just not gonna happen.
That’s like making bad Nazis into good Nazis.
Do they think we are their little Not-Sees?
Let these Zoramites go to their very own special hell they create on earth in their own narcissistic image.
Warn your neighbors of the “ravening Leaders in fine wool suits” as Jesus said.
Yea, Weird Alma, keep putting King Noah and his wicked priests in their proper place.
After listening to this podcast I went back and listened to the Jumping The Shark one. Yes, you did call out Nelson but unfortunately all of your assertions were accurate. Makes you wonder whats going on in the heads of those that work in SCMC. I find it hard to state so loyal to the institution while ignoring the facts.
As an EQ instructor, I asked about 6 months ago for permission to teach the doctrines behind healing blessings from the scriptures and from Joseph’s own words. I’d been studying the topic for several weeks and thought it would be super important for us to better understand it as a quorum. I was told by the EQP “no, we have been asked to only teach from the conference talks of last session.”
